Package: xfce4
Version: 4.4.1
Severity: important
the xfce menu does not adhere to the new debian menu policy.
recently, a lot of the menus were renamed and reordered [0]. this is
also discussed in bug report #361418 [1].
the problem is that new packages built for menu 2.1.35 or newer may
not have correct entries in the xfce menu (if the heirarchy has been
changed).
note that the gnome menu has already been updated to support this
transition. this caused me to scratch my head for way too long because
the menu entry for a package i am working on was not showing up under
xfce, but it did in gnome.
i am marking this as important for now, but it might need to be
considered serious since the menu is not presented as directed by the
debian menu policy.
thanks for all the hard work.
